Lily Tang Williams is an inspiring story for America. She was born to illiterate working-class parents in Sichuan, China in 1964, just two years before Mao Zedong launched the Chinese Cultural Revolution. As a child, she grew up in the poverty that accompanies Communism, not to mention the indoctrination and seeing tens of millions of her fellow Chinese citizens murdered. While in university, she was exposed to the United States Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Even though she worked her way up to a prestigious position as a university law professor in China, the contrast between Communist oppression versus American freedom could not be denied and she fled to the United States, despite speaking very little English.
Williams spent several years in social work fields (despite her much higher qualifications) but her true calling was always to speak out about the horror of Communism to Americans and to dedicate herself to protecting those freedoms she read about as a student. She has been in politics for many years, first as a prominent libertarian in Colorado and now as a Republican in New Hampshire where she is running for Congress in 2024.
On Wednesday, the Dartmouth Political Union hosted a debate about gun control between David Hogg and former Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee Spike Cohen. Unbeknownst to Hogg, Cohen brought a special guest with him to the debate, none other than Williams herself.
After about 90 minutes of conversation, Cohen pointed at Williams and invited her to ask a question to the panel. What followed was one of the most brutal murders (figuratively speaking, of course) we have ever witnessed on camera. Watch:
America, LISTEN UP #2A 👏🏻

Survivor of Mao's Cultural Revolution vs gun control activist David Hogg:
'The country I love is becoming the country I left’
“Hi, my name is Lily Tang Williams. Welcome to my ‘Live Free or Die’ state. Actually, I am a Chinese immigrant who survived… pic.twitter.com/Aw7Wff0cWp
Wall Street Apes included the full exchange in their tweet:
[Williams:] Hi, my name is Lily Tang Williams. Welcome to my ‘Live Free or Die’ state. Actually, I am a Chinese immigrant who survived communism. And under Mao, 40 million people were starving to death after he sold the communism to them. And 20 million people died, murdered during his cultural revolution.
So my question to you, David, is that can you guarantee me, a gun owner tonight, our government in the US, in DC, will never, never become a tyrannical government? Can you guarantee that to me?
[Hogg:] There's no way I can ever guarantee that any government will not be tyrannical.
[Williams:] Well, then the debate on gun control is over because I will never give up my guns. Never, never. And you should go to China to see how gun control works for dictatorship of CCP”
KA-freaking-BOOM.
The only thing that would have made it better would have been an actual mic drop by Williams after she buried all of Hogg's gun-grabbing rhetoric with the best -- and only -- defense the Second Amendment ever needs. The amendment exists SPECIFICALLY to protect the people against tyrannical government. And, as Williams experienced, when you take guns away from citizens, that is what enables the type of tyranny she escaped.
It was just a magnificent 56 seconds to behold.
Watching a brave survivor of communism dismantle a little commie in training like David Hogg is a beautiful sight.

We will not give up our gun rights and survivors of communism are the perfect voice to deliver that message.
Great job @Lily4Liberty! 🔥🔥pic.twitter.com/z2243EZxVj
What isn't available in the clip (but you can see it in the full video on YouTube) is Hogg's stammering response to Williams where he tries to pretend he is not advocating for citizens to have their guns taken away (he is and he always has) and then wandering off into an 'election denialism' speech because he can't respond to anything Williams said to him.
David Hogg gets his tiny, ineffectual testicals crushed by an individual who escaped the tyranny of Chinese communism. She perfectly demonstrates why “gun control” is inhumane and gun ownership must be recognized as basic human right.

Hogg is notoriously ignorant of the Constitution and has repeatedly called for guns to be illegal, not to mention believing gun rights are granted by the government.
No one flees capitalism in favor of communism and here we have a legal Chinese immigrant who escaped communism absolutely decimating gun grabbing doofus David Hogg on the 2nd Ammendment. https://t.co/5acCEp1vnU

I don’t have a gun, but I have no doubt that 2A is for “We the People” to defend itself against a tyrannical government. Never more true than today. https://t.co/UQ2setblzt

Hogg, the pride of Harvard, still believes that gun rights are just for hunting and for 'right-wing extremists' to wave in the air while yelling, 'Yeehaw.' He simply does not get it.
Lily Tang Williams gave David Hogg one of the best history lessons he never received while attending Harvard!!
— A.D. (@adfigg) April 11, 2024
Touché Lily Williams.
Hogg loves to claim that he 'studied American history for FOUR years' while at Harvard. Maybe he should have taken a world history class too.

All of that.
I love this lady. This is what Hogg and all his idiot gun controllers need done to them every day. Never never never give up your guns! Ever. https://t.co/xFmuj8f3wy

For all you gun control people out there, you may just want to hear what this women that survived Mao's brutal communism has to say. https://t.co/IJX14Pxobl

You don't even have to go all the way back to Mao's China. Much more recently, the Australian government convinced its people to give up their guns. Then, when COVID hit, Australia built internment camps for its own citizens. Those two events are directly connected.
Her simple message is so moving.🇺🇸🙏 God Bless her and God Bless America! Let freedom ring!

As much as we all enjoyed watching Williams demolish Hogg and all other gun grabbers, after the event, she was both humble and gracious in her victory. (Those are three words that Hogg has never understood or experienced in his life.)
Thanks to @RealSpikeCohen for getting me a seat to watch his debate with @davidhogg111 at @dartmouth hosted by @theDPUnion. I love to see more open discussions & debates on our college campuses.

... but we shook hands at the end respectfully. I urge him to do some research on Mao's Red Guards. I am hoping someday, he will get it.
We appreciate her hopefulness, but we don't think Hogg ever will.
